With my best sarcasm voice: ‘IDG has really outdone themselves again with their stellar MacWorld Expo website this year.’ To say nothing of the issues with the code (the footer was in the middle of all the pages a week or so ago), but the site itself is so hard to use. I’m attending the MacIT Conference again this year, and I’d love to have a PDF to download so I can read through the descriptions and figure out my schedule. Instead the only way to get this info is to click through each link on the site, either back and forth or via a bunch of browser tabs. You’d think downloading the “MacIT Conference-@-a-Glance” PDF would be useful, but what you get is a PDF print out of a schedule produced in Excel. No information about conferences at all aside from their start and stop times. It’s painfully obvious, the whole thing was put together with a shoestring budget, but why? Are Expos going the way of the dinosaur, or is it just bad management? Or both? It’s hard to say, but complicating such a simple task isn’t helping anyone. This site could stand a healthy dose of Web 2.0, stat!
